Additional Ideas For Final Coursework

Since we are going to have a news report running in the first 2 minutes of our movie, I have researched onto the types of animation they used to use during the 1980's during the News.

The BBC used to have a form of mechanical clock, which they used to use as a form of a countdown to the 9 pm news flash.

The  Mechanical clock

After surfing the internet, I have found a free editable version online. This version can be used in our movie, to give the news report an authentic 1980's feel.





During the 1980's the use of computer animation/graphics were very minimalistic when compared to 2012.

During 1982

In this picture we can see that the back ground had just very simple use of graphics/editing, as its just one photograph in the background of the news reporter.

During 2012

On the other hand, it is clear that the amount of editing done during 2012 is considerably more than 1982, so when making our news report, we need to care about the type of special affects that we use, the colors associated with the reader as they often wore dull colours and style to make our news report seem as if it was really set in the 80's.
